ザランジュ (ペルシア語/パシュトー語/バローチー語: زرنج、ラテン文字転写: Zaranj)はアフガニスタン南西部に位置する同国の都市である。ニームルーズ州の州都で、人口は2024年現在[update]49,851人[4][5]。アフガニスタン国内を一周する環状の高速道路でラシュカルガー、カンダハール、ファーラー、ザーボルと結ばれている。
中東と中央アジア、南アジアを繋げる交通の要衝のひとつである[6]、エイブレシャム出入国管理局がイランとの国境線沿いに置かれている[7][1][8]。約21km東にはザランジュ空港が位置している。
ザランジュの歴史は約1200年前にサッファール朝を樹立したヤアクーブ・アル＝サッファールにまで遡る。
歴史
古ペルシア語で「水の島」という意味があるズランカと呼ばれる都市が名前の由来である[9]。ギリシア語ではドランギアナと呼ばれ、アケメネス朝の都市の由来ともなった。ジラやザランジア、ズラーニなどの発音が確認されている[10][11]。
アケメネス朝においてズランカと呼ばれる都市はドランギアナの首都であり[12]、おおよそ現在のシスタンに位置していた[13]。アラブ人の地理学者によると、後にズランカは放棄され、その地はヘルマンド川から水を引き、ラム・シャフリスタンという都市として発展するが、河川の氾濫により一帯の住民が北方へ避難し、定住した場所がシスタンの約4.4km北に位置する現在のザランジュであるという[14][15]。当時のザランジュは古代末期に作成された道路地図であるポイティンガー図にて確認できる。
651年にザランジュを含むホラーサーン地帯がイスラム教勢力に支配されると、661年には領土拡大のための駐屯地が建立された[16]。これとは別に、6世紀から8世紀末にはネストリウス派のヤコブ司教区が置かれたという記録も残っている[17]。9世紀頃には銅細工師のヤアクーブ・アル＝サッファールによって開かれたサッファール朝の首都が置かれた[18]。サッファール朝は900年にサーマーン朝に、サーマーン朝は1003年にガズナ朝のマフムードによって滅ぼされた[19]。ザランジュは後にゴール朝、ティムール朝、サファヴィー朝などの一部となる。
1738年にナーディル・シャーによって支配されるまではパシュトゥーン人によるホータキー朝の都市であったが、18世紀中頃はカラハン朝の領土となった[20]。1968年まではアフガニスタンにおいてファーラー・チャカンスール州として知られていたが、ニームルーズ州とファーラー州に分離し、ニームルーズ州の州都となった。
2000年代初頭
A new highway called Route 606 was built between Zaranj and Delaram in Farah province by the Indian Government's Border Roads Organization at a cost of about US$136 million to open up a link between the deep sea port at Chabahar in Iran to Afghanistan's main ring road highway system which connects Kabul, Kandahar, Herat, Mazar-i-Sharif and Kunduz. The 215-キロメートル-long (134 mi) highway, a symbol of India's developmental work in the war-ravaged country, was handed over to Afghan authorities by Indian External Affairs Minister Pranab Mukherjee in January 2009 in the presence of Afghan President Hamid Karzai and Foreign Minister Rangeen Dadfar Spanta. "Completion of the road reflects the determination of both India and Afghanistan that nothing can prevent or hinder collaboration between the two countries," Mukherjee said at a function to mark this handover. On the occasion, Karzai said, the completion of the project is a message to those who want to stop cooperation between India and Afghanistan. "Our cooperation will not stop". The Taliban was opposed to this project and launched frequent attacks on the construction workers in an attempt to force the winding up of the work. A total of six Indians, including a Border Roads Organisation driver and four ITBP soldiers, and 129 Afghans were killed in these attacks.[要出典]
The province has been one of the 7 (Nimruz, Helmand, Kandahar, Uruzgan, Ghazni, Paktika and Zabul) where the Taliban have been recently regrouping. On 14 August 2012 dozens of civilians were killed in Zaranj by several suicide-bombers in a major terrorist attack on the city.[21]
Due to Zaranj's close proximity to Iran, the city relies mostly on Iranian products. With the increase of trade the Afghan Border Police is dealing with a rise in smuggling, particularly illegal drugs and weapons. The overall economic situation is becoming better for the local population of the city. Hundreds of trucks containing merchandise from the Middle East enter the city on a daily basis.
In the last decade, the U.S. Marines and others of the International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) have been visiting Zaranj city. The US Marines and other U.S. officials are involved with the Afghan government in major development projects. This includes improvement made to the irrigation network of the city, building of Afghan military and Afghan National Police barracks as well as a hospital and a school.
The city is served by Zaranj Airport, which is also being improved by the United States. US Marines assigned to 3rd Marine Aircraft Wing have been visiting Zaranj since US Marine Base Forward Operating Base Delaram was built in Delaram district of Zaranj. The 3rd Marine Aircraft Wing built two concrete helicopter landing zones on western side of the gravel runway of Zaranj Airport to ease the landing of USMC V-22 Osprey helicopters from 3rd Battalion 4th Marines. The helipads now serve all helicopters landing at Zaranj airport.
Taliban capture
On 6 August 2021, it was confirmed by local sources that the city had been captured by the Taliban, making it the first provincial capital captured by the Taliban during their advances after the withdrawal of foreign forces in Afghanistan.[22] Afghan officials stated the Taliban faced "little resistance" in capturing the city with the 215th Corps of the Afghan National Army focusing instead on the Battle of Lashkargah.[23] Shortly after entering the city, the Taliban broke into the city's prison, releasing a large number of prisoners into Zaranj.[23]
On March 8, 2022, the New York Times reported a boom in the business of smugglers helping - for payment - the escape of hundreds of thousands of Afghans seeking to cross into Iran, to escape the Taliban rule and/or the harsh economic conditions. According to the report, "nearly everyone in Zaranj is involved, in one way or another, in the smuggling business".[24] As described in the paper, "Zaranj is lively. Newcomers buy kebabs from street vendors, peruse shops and sit around plastic tables, eager to learn more about the grueling journey ahead".
天候
Zaranj has a hot desert climate (Köppen climate classification BWh) with very hot summers and cool winters. Precipitation is very low, and mostly falls in winter. Temperatures in summer may approach 50 °C (122 °F).Snowfall in Zaranj is a rare event. On 27 Nov 2016, it snowed in this city.[25]

Route 606: Delaram-Zaranj Highway
The Delaram–Zaranj Highway, also known as Route 606, is a 217-km or 135-mile-long two-lane road built by India in Afghanistan, connecting Delaram in Farah Province with Zaranj in neighbouring Nimruz Province near the Iranian border.[29] It connects the Afghan–Iranian border with the Kandahar–Herat Highway in Delaram, which provides connectivity to other major Afghan cities via A01, including to India's planned mining operation in Hajigak mining concession. Route 606 reduces travel time between Delaram and Zaranj from the earlier 12–14 hours to just 2 hours. India-Iran signed an agreement in May 2016 to connect it to Port of Chabahar with rail and road links.

The name of the country and its inhabitants is first attested as Old Persian z-r-k (i.e., Zranka)in the great Bīsotūn (q.v. iii) inscription of Darius I (q.v.; col. I l. 16), apparently the original name. This form is reflected in the Elamite (Sir-ra-an-qa and variants), Babylonian (Za-ra-an-ga), and Egyptian (srng or srnḳ) versions of the Achaemenid royal inscriptions, as well as in Greek Zarángai, Zarangaîoi, Zarangianḗ (Arrian; Isidore of Charax), and Sarángai (Herodotus) and in Latin Zarangae (Pliny). Instead of this original form, characterized by non-Persian z (perhaps from proto-IE. palatal *γ or *γh), in some Greek sources (chiefly those dependent upon the historians of Alexander the Great, q.v.) the perhaps hypercorrect Persianized variant (cf. Belardi, p. 183) with initial d-, *Dranka (or even *Dranga?), reflected in Greek Drángai, Drangḗ, Drangēnḗ, Drangi(a)nḗ (Ctesias; Polybius; Strabo; Diodorus; Ptolemy; Arrian; Stephanus Byzantius) and Latin Drangae, Drangiana, Drangiani (Curtius Rufus; Pliny; Ammianus Marcellinus; Justin) or Drancaeus (Valerius Flaccus, Argonautica 6.106, 6.507) occurs.
